<h3 id="rationale">Rationale:</h3>
<p>When embedding a here document in <code>$(..)</code> or
<code>(..)</code>, there needs to be a linefeed (newline) between the
here doc token and the closing <code>)</code>. Please insert one.</p>
<p>Failing to do so may cause warnings like this:</p>
<pre><code>bash: warning: here-document at line 15 delimited by end-of-file (wanted `eof&#39;)`
dash: 5: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting &quot;)&quot;)</code></pre>
<h3 id="exceptions">Exceptions:</h3>
<p>This error may be incorrectly emitted for <code>ksh</code>, where
this is allowed. In this case, please either write it in a standard way
or ignore this warning.</p>
